I had forgotten about the old switchblade combs, we use to think those were so cool as kids. It is amazing when you look at your own knife collection, I started very young, and seeing how you’ve migrated and changed over the years. I am looking at some knives by a guy named Tom Holloran, great looking and usable knives, I’m on the list for one! Just wish I lived closer to San Antonio where I could take some pekiti tersia classes.

Zero Tolerance? Thoughts?

Great episode as usual, thanks much.

That Hissatsu is crazy. I have the Otanashi Noh Ken also designed by Williams and also slightly crazy. Knives like these just reinforce the idea that I have no desire to ever get in a knife fight.
Good point on the wave action opening. Personally, I may or may not want the blade to deploy on the draw so don’t lean toward that type of knife myself.
